Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A method, using a physical processor and memory, comprising: automatically determining that a person of interest (POI) under surveillance has communicated with a correspondent of the POI; creating a communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; consolidating a set of communication and transaction data corresponding to a communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communications in an organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; generating a link chart associated with the POI to visually represent the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; embedding the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI within the communication link within the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI such that the organized reconstruction folder automatically populates when a user selects the communication link in the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; merging a visual node of the link chart representing the POI with a visual node of the link chart representing an entity communicating with the correspondent with an online identity when at least one of a collection server and a service platform determines that the online identity is associated with the POI; and consolidating the set of communication and transaction data in the organized reconstruction folder with a second set of communication and transaction data in a second organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the entity and the correspondent of the POI.
A computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance. It automatically identifies when the POI communicates with someone (a correspondent). The system then creates a link between the POI and the correspondent. It gathers all communication and transaction data between them from various sources, storing it in an organized "reconstruction folder". A visual "link chart" displays the communication link. When a user clicks the communication link in the chart, the reconstruction folder automatically opens, showing all relevant data. If the POI uses an online identity to contact the correspondent, the system merges the POI's node with the online identity's node in the link chart and combines their respective reconstruction folders.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising: tracking a number of times the POI has communicated with the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communications to generate a set of communication associations between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, also tracks how often the POI communicates with the correspondent across different channels (e.g., phone, email, social media). This tracking creates a set of communication associations between the POI and the correspondent, allowing analysts to understand the frequency and intensity of their interactions. This information is used to build a profile of the POI's communication patterns.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: tracking a number of times the POI has communicated with the correspondent of the POI to including a set of online identities associated with at least one of the POI and the correspondent of the POI to generate a set of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, also tracks online identities used by both the POI and the correspondent. It counts how many times the POI and correspondent communicate, including instances where they use their online identities. This creates a detailed record of communication instances, even if they are using different aliases or accounts. This helps analysts identify hidden relationships and communication patterns.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising: identifying a set of online identities associated with the POI; consolidating the set of communication and transaction data corresponding to the set of online identities associated with the POI; and when a particular online identity associated with the POI communicates with the correspondent of the POI, automatically tracking the communication as a communication instance in the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, identifies all online identities associated with the POI. It collects communication and transaction data associated with these online identities. If one of the POI's online identities communicates with the correspondent, the system automatically records this communication as a communication instance in the reconstruction folder associated with the POI and the correspondent. This ensures that all communications, regardless of the identity used, are tracked.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: visually representing a set of communication links between the POI and a set of correspondents of the POI in a single link chart associated with the POI.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, displays all communication links between the POI and multiple correspondents on a single visual link chart. This provides an overview of the POI's entire network of contacts and allows analysts to quickly identify key relationships and communication patterns. The chart is interactive, allowing the user to investigate the communication details.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising: automatically selecting a visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options, wherein the set of predetermined visualization options includes at least one of a frequency of communication, a number of communication instances, an importance of a particular communication instance, a priority level of a communication instance, a keyword in the content of the communication and transaction data, an identity of the correspondent of the POI, a manual preference of an analyst, a time of the communication instance and a type of communication instance.
The communication analysis system, as described where it displays all communication links between the POI and multiple correspondents on a single visual link chart, automatically chooses how to visually represent the communication link between the POI and the correspondent. This choice is based on factors like: communication frequency, the number of communications, the importance/priority of the communications, keywords in the content, the identity of the correspondent, analyst preferences, the time of communication and the type of communication. Different visual forms may be used to show level of importance to the analyst for ease of use.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising: automatically modifying the visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options when a predetermined condition stipulated by the analyst is met.
The communication analysis system, as described where the choice of visual representation is based on communication frequency, keywords etc, also allows the visual representation of the communication link to change automatically. If an analyst sets a specific condition, such as a certain number of communications happening in a short period of time, the link's appearance on the link chart will change to flag the new condition, such as turning a link from grey to red.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising: further organizing the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of preferences of the analyst.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, allows the analyst to customize the organization of the "reconstruction folder" associated with the POI and correspondent. The analyst can specify preferences for how the data is displayed and sorted, allowing them to tailor the interface to their specific needs and analytical workflow. This ensures that the reconstruction folder is easy to navigate and understand.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising: filtering the set of communication and transaction data within the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a query term entered by the analyst; and generating a set of results based on the query term entered by the analyst within the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.
The communication analysis system, as described where a computer system analyzes communications of a person of interest (POI) under surveillance and creates links and reconstruction folders, allows the analyst to search the communications between the POI and the correspondent by using a query term, such as 'bomb' or 'drugs'. The system then generates a list of results based on these queries.
10. A method, using a physical processor and memory, comprising: determining that a person of interest (POI) has communicated with a correspondent of the POI when a first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; automatically creating an organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI when the first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; automatically creating a communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in a link chart when the first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; and embedding the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI under the communication link on the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in the link chart; automatically selecting with a set of predetermined visualization options a visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on the content of the organizational reconstruction folder, wherein the set of predetermined visualization options includes at least one of a frequency of communication, a number of communication instances, an importance of a particular communication instance, a priority level of a communication instance, a keyword in the content of the communication and transaction data, an identity of the correspondent of the POI, a manual preference of an analyst, a time of the communication instance and a type of communication instance.
A computer system automates communication analysis when a person of interest (POI) communicates with a correspondent. When they first communicate, the system creates a "reconstruction folder" specifically for their interactions and generates a communication link in a "link chart". The reconstruction folder is embedded within the communication link on the chart. The system automatically chooses a visual form for the communication link (e.g., color, thickness) based on the content of the reconstruction folder. The selection is based on communication frequency, the number of communications, the importance/priority of the communications, keywords in the content, the identity of the correspondent, analyst preferences, the time of communication and the type of communication.
11. The method of claim 10 further comprising: consolidating a set of communication and transaction data associated with a communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communications in the organized reconstruction folder.
The communication analysis system, as described where it creates reconstruction folders and communication links, also gathers all communication and transaction data between the POI and the correspondent from different sources and stores it in the organized "reconstruction folder". This includes emails, phone calls, social media posts, and financial transactions. This comprehensive data collection provides a complete picture of the interactions between the POI and the correspondent.
12. The method of claim 11 further comprising: tracking a number of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent of the POI including a set of online identities associated with at least one of the POI and the correspondent of the POI.
This invention describes a method for analyzing communications. It automatically detects when a Person of Interest (POI) communicates with a correspondent, triggering the creation of a dedicated "reconstruction folder" for their interactions. Concurrently, a visual "communication link" representing this relationship is generated on a "link chart". The folder is embedded within this visual link, allowing its contents to automatically populate when selected. The visual appearance of the link is automatically chosen based on various factors derived from the folder's content, such as communication frequency, importance, keywords, or analyst preferences. The system consolidates all relevant communication and transaction data across multiple communication mediums into this reconstruction folder. A key feature is tracking the total number of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent, specifically including the identification and association of online identities belonging to either the POI or the correspondent involved in these communications.

13. The method of claim 10 further comprising: automatically Modifying the visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options when a predetermined condition stipulated by the analyst is met.
The communication analysis system, as described where it creates reconstruction folders and communication links, also allows the visual representation of the communication link to change automatically. If an analyst sets a specific condition, the link's appearance on the link chart will change. For example, if an analyst stipulates that the link will turn red when the number of instances between the POI and correspondent is above 10.
14. A system comprising a processor communicatively coupled with a volatile memory and a non-volatile storage further comprising a service platform to: consolidate, process and organize a set of communication and transaction data associated with a communication between a POI and a correspondent of the POI A across a plurality of mediums of communications in an organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI; automatically create a communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on the set of communication and transaction data associated with the communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in a link chart; merge a visual node of the link chart representing the POI with a visual node of the link chart representing an entity communicating with the correspondent with an online identity when the service platform determines that the online identity is associated with the POI; and consolidate the set of communication and transaction data in the organized reconstruction folder with a second set of communication and transaction data in a second organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the entity and the correspondent of the POI.
A computer system automatically analyzes communications involving a person of interest (POI). A "service platform" consolidates and organizes communication and transaction data between the POI and a correspondent, storing it in an organized "reconstruction folder". Based on this data, the system creates a communication link between the POI and the correspondent in a visual "link chart". If the POI uses an online identity, the system merges the POI's node in the link chart with the node representing the online identity. It also combines the data from the POI's reconstruction folder with the data from the online identity's reconstruction folder.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the service platform automatically populates the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI when an analyst selects the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI on the link chart.
The communication analysis system, as described where a service platform consolidates and organizes communication data and creates a link chart, automatically opens the "reconstruction folder" associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent when an analyst clicks on the communication link between them in the link chart. This allows the analyst to quickly access and review all relevant data associated with that communication.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the service platform automatically selects a visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options, wherein the set of predetermined visualization options includes at least one of a frequency of communication, a number of communication instances, an importance of a particular communication instance, a priority level of a communication instance, a keyword in the content of the communication and transaction data, an identity of the correspondent of the POI, a manual preference of the analyst, a time of the communication instance and a type of communication instance.
The communication analysis system, as described where a service platform consolidates and organizes communication data and creates a link chart, automatically chooses how to visually represent the communication link between the POI and the correspondent. This choice is based on factors like: communication frequency, the number of communications, the importance/priority of the communications, keywords in the content, the identity of the correspondent, analyst preferences, the time of communication and the type of communication. Different visual forms may be used to show level of importance to the analyst for ease of use.
17. The system of claim 16 wherein the service platform automatically modifies the visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options when a predetermined condition stipulated by the analyst is met.
The communication analysis system, as described where the system automatically chooses how to visually represent the communication link between the POI and the correspondent, also allows the visual representation of the communication link to change automatically. If an analyst sets a specific condition, the link's appearance on the link chart will change. For example, if an analyst stipulates that the link will turn red when the number of instances between the POI and correspondent is above 10.
18. The system of claim 17 wherein the service platform automatically tracks a set of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums based on the set of communication and transaction data.
This system includes a service platform that automatically processes, consolidates, and organizes communication and transaction data between a Person of Interest (POI) and a correspondent across various communication mediums (e.g., calls, messages, emails). This data is stored in an "organized reconstruction folder." The platform then automatically creates a visual "communication link" between the POI and correspondent within a "link chart." The visual style of this link is dynamically selected from options like communication frequency, number of instances, content keywords, or analyst preferences, and can be automatically modified when specific analyst-defined conditions are met. Furthermore, the system can merge the POI's visual node with another entity's if their online identities are linked, consolidating their communication data with the correspondent. A core function of this service platform is to **automatically track and record each individual communication instance** (e.g., a specific call, message, or email) between the POI and their correspondent, leveraging the collected communication and transaction data from all monitored mediums.
19. The system of claim 14 further comprising: a workstation associated with an analyst, to view the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; a collection server: to collect a set of communication and transaction data from a network being used by the POI, to process the set of communication and transaction data, to extract a metadata and a content of the set of communication and transaction data, to store the content; and a communication bus, to automatically transmit the metadata and a text content to the service platform from the collection service immediately at a time of collection of the set of communication and transaction data and to transmit the content to the service platform at a request of the analyst.
The communication analysis system, using a service platform to consolidate and organize data and a collection server to collect communication and transaction data, includes a workstation for an analyst to view the communication links between the POI and the correspondent. A collection server automatically gathers communication and transaction data from the network used by the POI, extracts metadata and content, and stores the content. The metadata and text content are immediately sent to the service platform, while the full content is sent upon the analyst's request.
